"The only good thing about tonight's game is that we won," Coal City coach Brad Boresi said. "We turned the ball over way too much, missed too many free throws and did not move our feet on defense. Colin Anderson gave us a nice little spark off the bench, and we were able to pull away."

COAL CITY — Halliday had 8 points and 7 rebounds for the Lady Coalers (7-2 in the Interstate Eight Conference) late Monday. They got 7 points from Borgetti, 6 from Shabani and 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals from Brittany Jezik.

"We had a tough offensive night tonight because we could not capitalize on our open looks. I thought we worked hard to get good lucks but things didn't bounce our way," Coal City coach Brad Schmitt said. "Defensively, we played hard and kept battling all night, but Lisle was able to hit some key (free throws) down the stretch when they needed to. We have to learn from this, and be able to play better in those type of situations."

Seven points from Madyson Bunton led the sophomore Lady Coalers (13-2, 9-0), who won 22-16.
